I’m working on a large embroidered collage project and wanted to include one of my daughter’s drawings on it.
I first saw this idea a few years ago and have just been waiting for my daughter to get old enough.
As far as projects go, this one was pretty easy. I had Shelby draw a picture (that says “Shelby” not “by Shel”), then I scanned it in and printed it in mirror image and used a heat transfer pencil to trace over the design and iron it on to my fabric. I find that is far easier than trying to trace directly onto the fabric or on the back of the pattern using a light box.
I stitched over the pattern using the exact colors that she used in her original drawing. I think it turned out well and she’s impressed that her artwork is included on the collage.
